this has been bouncing around the internet for a while
link to the twitter thread where it's currently doing numbers (edit:fix'd link :honk-commie:)
the thread is full of two types of comment:
-
classic libs and libertarians unironically marking their spot
-
lefties gnashing their teeth in anguish over things like, oh, idk, Maoism to the right of NazBol, or whatever Anarcho-Posadism is...
Why would you have anarcho-communism and anarcho-capitalism in the two bottom corners and not their authoritarian opposites, communism and fascism, in the opposing corners.
The whole thing becomes a wash (more so than claiming ancap is an ideology at all) as soon as you recognise that what they've decided represents the polar opposites is just garbage.
Basically the whole compass exists to justify the existence of the bottom right quadrant while also pulling double-duty to rehabilitate fascism by making it centre instead of far right.
The OBVIOUS starting point for creating a correct compass is to get the polar opposites correct at the very least.
They put a bunch of fash ideologies as left of center. The person who made this is 100% a fascist.
the starting point for creating a correct compass would be to disregard the whole thing and adopt a materialist method of analysis
